Which of these top eight pizza places serves St Helens' perfect slice?

One copy of the St Helens Star counts for five votes in the Best of 2024 competition so it’s time to have your say about who deserves the award for St Helens’ Best Pizza.

Since its launch in April, we’ve looked at hair and nails, pies and roast dinners, cocktails and breakfast before fitness and fish and chips.

Next on the menu was pizzas – the cheesy topped dough that can be eaten hot or cold and we wanted to know where in St Helens we could go to find the perfect slice.

We were inundated with nominations and we’ve shortlisted the top eight, who will battle it out to be named Best for Pizza in St Helens.

Now we need your help to choose the winner from our eight shortlisted nominees.
